be_v here_o rehearse_v by_o a_o similitude_n of_o one_o part_n as_o the_o whole_a the_o similitude_n of_o which_o matter_n conceive_v by_o this_o example_n that_o experience_n daily_o teach_v we_o of_o the_o drop_n of_o water_n which_o although_o they_o be_v small_a yet_o pour_v on_o dry_a woollen_a cloth_n run_v into_o a_o round_a or_o bunch_v form_n which_o without_o doubt_n shall_v not_o be_v cause_v if_o the_o part_n follow_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o whole_a of_o his_o kind_n now_o the_o example_n above_o promise_v do_v here_o appear_v in_o which_o by_o the_o letter_n a._n

it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o water_n by_o nature_n be_v carry_v and_o run_v downward_o and_o stide_v or_o fall_v from_o high_a unto_o low_a place_n so_o long_o until_o it_o have_v fill_v and_o

earth_n with_o the_o sea_n and_o water_n run_v about_o it_o do_v make_v one_o round_a body_n and_o fill_v all_o the_o whole_a upper_a face_n the_o earth_n also_o gape_v and_o open_a somewhere_o receive_v water_n into_o those_o hollow_a place_n but_o a_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n appear_v somewhere_o above_o it_o stay_v and_o enclose_v it_o about_o with_o strong_a enclosure_n and_o bank_n wrought_v by_o divine_a miracle_n that_o the_o bare_a place_n of_o the_o earth_n may_v be_v a_o commodious_a dwell_n and_o feed_n for_o all_o beast_n and_o other_o live_a creature_n and_o y_o ●_o this_o be_v true_a shall_v be_v prove_v by_o other_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o by_o sundry_a perygrination_n in_o which_o many_o and_o most_o large_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v find_v towards_o all_o the_o quarter_n of_o the_o world_n which_o evident_o witness_v that_o the_o earth_n be_v not_o as_o pliny_n and_o other_o write_v which_o imagine_v that_o the_o earth_n be_v compass_v about_o with_o water_n and_o appear_v so_o out_o of_o the_o water_n like_o a_o apple_n or_o ball_n swim_v above_o the_o water_n who_o one_o half_a show_v out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o the_o other_o half_o hide_v in_o the_o water_n which_o reason_n ptolemy_n do_v not_o allow_v but_o simple_o affirm_v that_o the_o earth_n with_o the_o sea_n and_o water_n make_v one_o round_a body_n by_o fill_v of_o the_o empty_a place_n and_o both_o to_o have_v one_o upper_a face_n also_o vitrwius_fw-la in_o his_o nine_o book_n write_v that_o the_o earth_n be_v place_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o world_n and_o be_v natural_o join_v together_o with_o the_o sea_n in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o centre_n but_o what_o the_o form_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v above_o the_o water_n be_v yet_o not_o thorough_o know_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o sea_n which_o run_v between_o it_o in_o diverse_a part_n and_o break_v it_o into_o sundry_a part_n like_v to_o gobbet_n or_o piece_n ptolemy_n affirm_v the_o earth_n to_o be_v know_v unto_o the_o longitude_n of_o the_o half_a circle_n that_o be_v 190._o degree_n without_o any_o run_n between_o of_o the_o sea_n in_o that_o space_n for_o that_o the_o earth_n be_v whole_o join_v together_o but_o into_o latitude_n he_o affirm_v the_o space_n to_o be_v much_o lesser_a as_o 79._o degree_n and_o of_o this_o opinion_n be_v both_o strabo_n and_o aristotle_n by_o the_o second_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o water_n with_o the_o earth_n do_v equal_o make_v one_o hollow_a upper_a face_n and_o the_o same_o to_o be_v perfect_a round_o but_o whether_o be_v big_a be_v great_o to_o be_v doubt_v although_o the_o learned_a novius_fw-la and_o sundry_a other_o late_a writer_n do_v affirm_v the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v big_a than_o the_o water_n by_o the_o three_o which_o be_v the_o eclipse_n in_o that_o of_o necessity_n the_o earth_n must_v have_v such_o a_o form_n with_o the_o water_n run_v in_o it_o as_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n frame_v and_o counterfeit_v in_o the_o moon_n eclipse_n in_o that_o the_o shadow_n show_v and_o express_v the_o form_n of_o the_o body_n shadow_v but_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v include_v round_o about_o with_o a_o round_o upper_a face_n the_o wise_a both_o see_v &_o know_v therefore_o the_o whole_a globe_n compound_v of_o the_o earth_n and_o water_n be_v comprehend_v with_o a_o round_o upper_a face_n for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o moon_n before_o and_o after_o the_o full_a be_v see_v horn_a and_o the_o part_n shadow_v of_o the_o whole_a circle_n be_v easy_o to_o be_v discern_v from_o that_o bright_a circumference_n so_o that_o the_o moon_n enter_v into_o shadow_n or_o go_v out_o of_o the_o same_o be_v likewise_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n horn_v and_o the_o part_n darken_v be_v always_o discern_v from_o the_o clear_a circumference_n of_o the_o whole_a circle_n emboss_a therefore_o of_o necessity_n must_v the_o begin_n of_o the_o shadow_n which_o seperate_v the_o part_n light_v from_o the_o shadow_a not_o be_v full_o straight_o nor_o unequal_a nor_o vally_v or_o wind_a but_o round_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n appear_v the_o upper_a face_n of_o the_o shadow_n not_o to_o be_v plain_a but_o round_o by_o these_o be_v also_o manifest_a as_o by_o the_o first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o centre_n of_o the_o water_n but_o that_o the_o one_o be_v the_o centre_n of_o both_o the_o element_n join_v together_o into_o one_o round_a body_n and_o tend_v unto_o the_o one_o and_o the_o same_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o earth_n see_v it_o be_v the_o heavy_a be_v open_v and_o receive_v the_o water_n fall_v into_o those_o place_n by_o the_o second_o it_o be_v evidente_a that_o the_o place_n of_o the_o water_n which_o ought_v to_o run_v over_o and_o cover_v the_o whole_a earth_n be_v otherwise_o change_a and_o appoint_v by_o the_o divine_a will_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o all_o live_a creature_n by_o the_o third_o appear_v that_o the_o opinion_n of_o certain_a peripateticans_n be_v false_a which_o affirm_v the_o water_n to_o be_v ten_o time_n great_a than_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o to_o one_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v ten_o portion_n of_o the_o water_n increase_v but_o seven_o time_n great_a than_o the_o earth_n it_o can_v be_v unless_o the_o earth_n round_o about_o be_v waste_v and_o impair_v by_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o gravity_n as_o it_o be_v settle_v and_o rest_v upon_o shall_v yield_v and_o give_v place_n to_o the_o water_n as_o the_o heavy_a see_v the_o sphere_n be_v together_o in_o a_o triple_a reason_n of_o their_o measure_n then_o if_o the_o earth_n be_v a_o eight_o part_n to_o seven_o part_n of_o the_o water_n the_o diameter_n of_o it_o can_v not_o be_v the_o great_a as_o from_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o water_n unto_o the_o circumference_n of_o they_o that_o be_v by_o double_a so_o much_o unto_o the_o diameter_n of_o the_o

the_o first_o quality_n and_o other_o effect_n the_o sun_n the_o fountain_n of_o light_n do_v not_o only_o give_v light_n and_o make_v shine_v clear_a the_o inferior_a body_n but_o the_o superior_a

therefore_o the_o star_n see_v they_o be_v round_o be_v by_o some_o proper_a and_o principal_a motion_n carry_v round_o but_o the_o fix_a star_n be_v not_o so_o move_v round_o in_o that_o they_o
